Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Marinade

  • 12 oz peeled and deveined shrimp
  • 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp honey

Base

  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar (optional)

Vegetables and Toppings

  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Optional Garnishes

  • Pickled ginger
  • Radish slices
  • Seaweed salad
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Furikake seasoning
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Marinate peeled and deveined shrimp in a mixture of sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey for about 10 minutes to infuse spicy, savory, and sweet flavors.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the marinated shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred, locking in juiciness and caramelizing spices.
  3. Prepare the Rice: Cook sushi rice following package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and optionally season with a splash of rice vinegar for added authenticity.
  4. Chop the Veggies: Dice avocado, thinly slice cucumber, and chop green onions to add fresh texture and brightness to the bowl.
  5. Assemble the Bowl: Place a generous scoop of warm rice at the bottom of the bowl. Layer cooked spicy shrimp, avocado, cucumber, and green onions on top. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and drizzle remaining shrimp sauce or extra sriracha as desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh or properly thawed shrimp for best taste and texture.
  • Do not overcook shrimp to avoid rubbery texture.
  • Serve with warm rice to meld flavors without sogginess.
  • Adjust sauce heat by varying sriracha or adding chili flakes.
  • Chop vegetables ahead of time to speed up assembly.
